LES PINCEAUX DE CHANEL Retractable Highlighter Brush N°111

I have sold & gotten rid of my entire makeup brush collection as I head into a life of travel & retirement. Any item that I keep must have extreme value & purpose or it won’t stay. I agree with other reviewers that this brush is entirely smaller than one would expect—and the pics showing its relative size to a lip product is wonderfully informative. Knowing how small it was, I ordered this brush with the intent of using it for blush. I found this to be perfect for that exact purpose. I swipe the cream stick (Chanel) blushes on each cheek & use this brush to blend it in (I prefer not to use my hands). It works perfectly for that. I could use it for any powder product as well; it would just take a little more time. As to the price, I asked myself if it was worth as much as a Chanel lip product—would I get as much use as one of those since this is priced around the same. The answer for me is yes. I would use this every day and hopefully for years—which is more than could say for any lip product. So, this will stay in my travel/minimalist/retirement collection and I recommend it to anyone who can make use of a small brush & likes the compact nature of it.

This brush has got to be the pipsqueak among the Chanel line of brushes. I can't believe they're calling it a highlighter brush. It's such a rinky-dink tiny thing, it makes a kabuki brush look like a big boy. It's the size of a band aid. It has a barrel diameter the size of a Chapstick, and not much bigger than one. Refer to pics and see for yourself. I gave it one star because of it's brush bristles: they are soft & natural. I honestly thought that for the price point, it would be the same size as the other Chanel travel brushes. Boy was I wrong.
